PABLO PICASSO
La Chèvre-Feuille: Trois Baigneuses.

Etching on heavy, cream wove paper, 1943. 275x215 mm; 10 5/8x8 1/2 inches, full margins. Second state (of 2). Trial proof, aside from the edition of 16 (which were signed and numbered on the verso). Signed in blue crayon, lower right. A superb impression of this extremely scarce etching.

This subject is one of 5 etchings created for but not included in La Chèvre-Feuille and therefore one of only a handful of scarce, unpublished proofs. Bloch 361 d; Baer 686 II A a.
